The four components of working memory are:
1. Phonological loop
2. Executive control system or central executive
3. Visuospatial sketchpad
4. Long term knowledge store
The phonological loop is a known working memory model's component that deals with information that is auditory. There are two subdivisions of this phonological loop, which are the articulatory process and phonological store. The articulatory process permits the repetition of words in a loop.
The phonological store helps to hold the words we hear. The visuospatial sketchpad or VS is a part of someone's normal mental facility that makes provision for a virtual environment for calculation, optical memory recall, physical simulation, and visualization.
The central executive gives priority and directs the attention of particular activities. Long term memory or long term knowledge store is defined in contrast, normally, to short term memory. Short term memory lasts for seconds, while long time memory lasts for months and years.
